Mitochondria play a pivotal role in physiological and metabolic function of the cell. Mitochondrial dynamics orchestrate mitochondrial function and morphology, involving fission and fusion as well as ultrastructural remodeling. Mounting evi…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease and the etiologies has not uniform. Microbiota is associated with human diseases. To delve into the relationship between EMS and microbiota, Ectopic (EM) and eutopic (EU) endometrial tissues, phary…
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is primarily caused by endometrial injury, and hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is presently the main treatment. However, postoperative recurrence and poor pregnancy outcomes remain intractable. In this study, we aim t…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a major gynecological malignancy with rising morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore a safe and readily available sample and a sensitive and effective detection method and its bioma…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis(EM) is a major cause of infertility, but the pathogenesis and mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. MiR-19b-3p is involved in many diseases, but its functional role in EM-associated infertility has no…
This study reports the outcomes of an innovative fertility-preserving surgery for the treatment of diffuse adenomyosis that is known as a surgery for protection of uterine structure for healing (PUSH Surgery). Developed at Peking University…
This study aims to evaluate the role of endometriosis family history on the clinical manifestation and fertility performance of primary and recurrent endometriosis. In total, 312 primary and 323 recurrent endometrioma patients with a histol…
The etiology remains to be understood for endometriosis (EMS) which affected health negatively for 10% of reproductive-age women globally. Emerging studies found the associations of EMS with genital microbiota dysbiosis. However, the role o…
The recognition of pain and the treatments used for it are vital for all practitioners. Many types of pain can be treated in a locoregional fashion, which has significant implications not just for any individual patient but for society as a…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disease that affects women of childbearing age. However, the exact cause remains unclear. The uterus is a highly vascularized organ that continuously exposes endometrial cells to high oxygen co…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a common and highly recurrent gynecological disease characterized by chronic pain and infertility. There are no definitive therapies for endometriosis since the pathogenesis remains undetermined. This stud…

This study evaluated the impact of elevated body mass index (BMI) on short- and long-term outcomes of in-vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments. A total of 7229 patients undergoing IVF/ICSI fresh cycles…
BACKGROUND: Luteinizing hormone (LH) can stimulate mural granulosa cells to produce Amphiregulin (AREG), which can induce the resumption of meiosis in oocytes. Theca cells are present in the outer layer of follicles, providing communication…
Objective: We aim to identify the crucial genes or potential biomarkers associated with uterine fibroids (UFs), which may provide clinicians with evidence about the diagnostic biomarker of UFs and reveal the mechanism of its progression. Me…
AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the risk factors for coexisting deep endometriosis (DE) in patients with recurrent ovarian endometrioma (OE). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 151 recurrent OE patients who had been diagnosed of…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age, which is characterized by ovulatory dysfunction, clinical and/or biochemical androgen excess, polycystic ovaries on ultrasound and …
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis of pediatric populations that may develop coronary artery aneurysms if untreated. It has been regarded as the principal cause of acquired heart disease in children of the developed countries. Int…
We and others have previously shown that abnormal pelvic environment plays an important role in the unexplained infertility of endometriosis. However, whether iron overload caused by ectopic periodic bleeding found in patients with endometr…
Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) are persistent environmental endocrine disruptor. This study aim to investigate the changes of the ectopic endometrium invasive ability and the possible mechanism after exposure to PCBs during pregn…
BACKGROUND: Congenital anatomic abnormalities of fallopian tubes and ovaries are rarely reported. Herein, we describe four cases of undescended ovary during laparoscopic surgery with abnormal anatomy of fallopian tube, yet without abnormal …
AIMS: The enhanced ability of endometrial cell migration and invasion is the foundation for formation of ectopic lesions in endometriosis. Ezrin has been reported to regulate cell motility by remodeling the cytoskeleton. However, little is …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a multifactorial disease that affects 10%-15% women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility. The pathogenesis of EMS has not been consistently explained until now. In this study,…
Human urine is traditionally considered to be sterile, and whether the urine harbours distinct microbial communities has been a matter of debate. Potential links between female urine and reproductive tract microbial communities is currently…
